The latest title in my catalog, Infaust is for the readers who love bad endings, fallen heroes, and a book that asks the question "When you've already seemingly lost it all, how much further can one fall?" Pre-order Infaust today to get the answer to that question. It'll shock you. I promise.

A witch with a dead familiar is an outlier and an ill-omen to every village they pass through. Rehan Nadir is one such witch. The only jobs available to him are terrible ones, and vagrancy is his only recourse… At least, it was until he heard tell of the town of Hamelin’s plight. Stories of a malicious entity, a chaos god, have tormented the village for hundreds of years, and like clockwork tragedy has struck once more: while the adults gathered elsewhere, the children were spirited away. No trace of them has been seen since. The town is desperate to bring them back. Very desperate. Finding and returning the lost children would be just the thing to give Rehan a new chance at the life he lost after the death of his familiar, and if all it takes is killing a god of chaos, then he’s more than ready to take the plunge and open that door. Unfortunately, he just didn’t anticipate opening a few more in the midst of dealing the finishing blow.

Infaust is a dark romance recounting the tale of the witch Rehan Nadir and the elusive chaos god known only as the Piper. Trapped in a world where even the very dirt wants them dead, the two must depend on one another to escape—and along the way realize that perhaps the definition of a happily ever after really is a subjective one.

Contains psychological horror, violence, dubious consent, protag corruption, villain "love interest", blood, descriptions of being burnt alive, and other gruesome acts. Viewer discretion is advised.

I need a way to say this character makes me feel insane amounts of lust but not in a sexual or romantic way

THREE MORE DAYS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Rehan is about to have the worst time of his life and it'll be publicly viewable in just a few short days... Pick up the novel other authors are calling "delicious, queer, and folkloric... from beginning to end" and "a treat for readers of dark fantasy that fucks" today and buckle up for one hell of a ride.

There's just something about heroes doomed to become the villains in a future story that sends my heart a-flutter... If you're a fan of dark fantasy and Bad Endings, Infaust is one book you won't want to miss. Only four days left before Rehan's story gets told. Be honest... are you excited?

if we are mutuals we will be reborn into the same cicada horde

[tdcloud]

i love unrequited love, i love blind devotion, i love guard dogs. i love being desperately obsessed with the object of your affections. i love when devotion rots into cruelty, i love when love doesn't know any better, i love when love is ugly. i love defanging and declawing yourself just to be loved. i love when a character will wait for the next time they will be loved like a bird or a dog at their beloved’s door. i love when love is insanity and by the LORD do i love betting on losing dogs

just went to the doctor turns out I'm unusual and perverse :(

making a collection

#literally infaust

[tdcloud]

corrupted godhood. reluctant false messiah. prophecy as a creeping all consuming malady. does the oracle see the future or make the future? the horror of trapping yourself inescapably on purpose. the chains of destiny dragging you towards the path you are fighting tooth and nail to free yourself from. there never having been a chance to begin with. no other choice to make. but making that choice regardless.
